Michael Mancienne described Nottingham Forest as a "massive club" after completing his move to the Championship side.
The former Chelsea defender joined Forest from Hamburg for around £1m, and the 26-year-old talked up the size of his new team.
"I know I have signed for a massive club," he told the club's official website.
"There are Premier League facilities here and I am very happy."
Mancienne joins Forest on a three-year contract.
